BEAUTY AND PERFECTION (A MONOLOGUE FROM THE PLAY "FLOWERS IN THE DESERT" BY D. M. LARSON OF FREEDRAMA.NET)
(Lowers mirror)
And when I get to Hollywood and become a star, they'll wonder where this goddess came from. But my past will be a mystery, because life before this moment ain't worth telling about. After those early years things have only gotten better. Actually I'll bet being born was one of the biggest let-downs of all. I spent all that time wrapped up in that little space in my mama, and for what? I pop out and look around, screaming, wondering if this was such a good idea. Wondering why someone didn't tell me sooner what it was gonna be like those first few years, 'cause if someone had told me, I don't think I woulda come out.
